CHILD'S PLAN Cut these figures for your .Valentine By LEETS B JR,OItER And POLL,Y IItJNTSINGER • If the old saying is "two heads are better than one," then lots of Valentine hearts should 1* better than just a few. It's fun to make your own Valentines: either to hand de- liver or mail to friends and relatives. On February 14 . mote greeting cards are ex- changed than at any' other time of year on a shingle day with the exception, of course, of Christmas. If there are many names on • your list, here's a method for , making individualized cards which can be put together sur- prisingly quickly. All you need _are lots of cut hearts, each ready to be pasted. You'll want them in various sizes and colors. Besides scis- sors, glue "and . paper, have construction paper for mount- ing. The secret of making hearts that are perfectly sym- metrical rather than lopsided' is in the snipping. Whatever size paper you use) fold -it in half. NOW begin' eutt . fold. Go up and ar�tf': down to a point. Practice 'on newspaper scraps and before long you'll develop a rhythm for making freehand ones. If, however, you find it feels safer, then trace out heart- shapes and use these as pat- terns for as many as are needed. By experimenting you'll find all sorts of critters to make besides the ones sug- gested in the accompanying illustration. A large heart, turned sideways, becomes the body of_a fish. One at each end become head and. tail. Add tiny heart flippers. Still smaller ones, when glued with the rest to a background piece of paper, actually seem like realistic air bubbles. No doubt you can think of lots of witty sayings to accompany this finny fellow such as "I'm fish- IIn n' s I'll hook you to be CCan a mouse be a Valen- tine? He can indeed if he hast a fat round heart body, 'a small-: er heart •head with the point serving as neck, Mouse ears? Two little peaked Valentines,, of course, as are the feet. Thea' tail has to be a long narro strip, but perhaps it: can have Cupid's arrow at the tip. "If you're the cat, hope I'm the mouse you catch," can be a caption for this little fellow.. Rain or shine, , Valentine's Day is bound to ,be "miler," Combine many hearts into,a Donald -Duck -like animal, in. eluding even buttons down his ". t front. Little hearts make facial features for creature real or -fancied that you make. You're sure to have a "hearty" good time with this project. And it's nice to ter'. friends you are thinking about. them, YOU CAN HX•IT lig Gene 17914 • SHARPENING CHISELS Restore the cutting edge on your chisel by honing it on a whetstone at a 30 -degree angle, and using a figure 8. stroke. Lubricate the stone with light machine oil and clean the stone after use with kerosene. This . operation will produce a burr on the flat side of the chisel; and this can be removed by honing. lightly with the flat side of the chisel down against the stone and using an elliptical stroke. GORDON GREEN Here on our farm we have a rather exciting variety of. wild life. We have- Wild . ducks in the spring, woodchuck, snowshoe rabbits, muskrat and both kinds of partridge -- the homegrown kind and these jet propelled Hun- garian imports. But none of us enthuse too much about hunting. Call us sentimental if you will, but we get more kick out of them alive than dripping with death. Whenever we want to try our rifle eye on . something, we restrict ourselves to tin cans and star- lings. But even with such unambi- tious hunting as that, I am for- ever warning my youngster's that any time anyone picks up a rifle, death is only a barrel length away from him, and that if a lad has an incurable urge to 'play the down with a gun, he owes it to the world to shoot himself right away before he kills someone worth- while. As a matter of fact I don't even. like to see my youngest boy play- ing cowboy and: Indian with these toy cap guns. Surely there must be better games for kids the se , cls ��t�Tt_�,rn. des d. My family of course thinks that this pet aversion of mine is just a little too ridiculous, and that it is just one more proof that .I'm a ' crank so far as kids are con- corned: I guess they would , be flabbergasted •if they'knew that I haven't always had such a fana- tical respect forguns, and that on one memorable occasion when I was younger — but old enough, to know better -- I too was guilty of clowning with a gun. 11 happened like this. One noon hour in the old one -roomed coun- try school where I once admin- istered education, I went down to the school basement to discover that the older boys were playing with an air rifle. Or as we called them in those uncomplicated days, a BB gun. The boys were playing a most peculiar sort of game with that gun. On one side Of the basement, a boy was bend- ing over to make a right target of his backside. Ranged along the opposite wall; his mates were taking turns shooting at him. But when I rushed in to prevent cala- mity, I was ' informed , that the game was really quite innocent because something was wrong with the spring of the air gun,and that the BB, if it reached the target at all, only delivered a tingling which was no more than' what one might expecte from the snapping of a rubber band: Dutifully I stopped the game anyhow and ordered the boy who owned the ailing weapon to take it home that night. Then a few weeks later it so happened that my wife and I were invited out to supper at the home. of that same pupil. And as impish fate would contrive it,just as I spotted the BBgun hanging from a coat hook on the wall, I:also noticed that my young wife was leaning over .the kitchen table looking at the new .mail order catalogue along with" the .woman of the house. Well life used to get a little dull in the country 30 years ago, even when • you were newly married; and before I really had time to ask my five iat''tLv`t �i Tin I picked up the gun, took' aim, and pulled the trigger. The result • was so painfully dramatic that I'd sooner not go into all the details right now. I just couldn't believe that my wife's voice was that strong. And when all the weeping and gnash- ing of teeth brought- the gun's youthful owner rushing in to see who was getting killed, he said "You did it with my rifle, sir? Oh, you shouldn't of done that! I just got the spring fixed!" California winemakers con- sider wooden barrels made from imported French oak enhance wine -flavor and character. But the costs of these 60 -gal- lon barrels imported from Bordeaux have soared from $48 each in 1966 to more ,than $90 each this year. WHEN THE WIND IS RIGHT—which is most of the time --this is the view that greets today's traveller aboard a British Airways (fornierly BEA) jet as it prepares to land In Malta after a flight from London. In the foreground is the island capital, Valletta, surrounded by Grant Harbor on one side and Marsamxett Harbor` on the other. In the background is the modern town of Slierna. The Knights of St. John (afterwards known as the Knights of Malta) founded Valletta in the 16th century when they were forced by the Turks to leave Rhodes. During World War I•I, the people of this little central Mediterranean island, smaller than Antigua in the eastern Caribbean, successfully with- stood repeated heavy Nazi bombing and thereby helped pave the way for the Allies' successful invasion of Italy. For their heroism, the whole island was awarded the George Cross. Theart cane li the cold Come in from the cold some afternoon and see to our Eski- mos eetted with their harSh en- virooment.
